I thought long and hard about this.....and decided to go ahead and post this “Average Joe” Pro Level Slider Set. I know there are those like me out there who are 50 something....love playing sports video games but want a simulation like experience with little to no hassle and not sweating the small stuff. I love 2K22. It is my first 2K since 2K18 and easily my favorite version of the game of all time. 2K11, 2K16, 2K18 and now 2K22 are my top games in the series.
So is this set for you? Answer these questions:
What is a “Average Joe" and will this set appeal to you?
1) Are you a long time sports gamer who grew up on Tecmo Super Basketball, Celtics vs Lakers, NBA Live 1995, NBA Live 2005, NBA 2K11? And you simply do not have the insane stick skills to use the shot meter, and chain together move after move? Do you play pure team basketball, want player ratings to be the absolute end all in the dice roll result in how the teams perform? Are you simply not a cheeser?
2) Do you like to run plays 80-90% of the time with some free style mixed in on breaks, loose balls and some run n gun?
3) Do you like to use full play art but other than that have a totally clean screen and play from the broadcast camera view?
4) Do you want ACE to determine everything for you so you can focus on just playing ball and allowing your coaches gameplan and the vastly improved AI to handle defensive match-ups, rebounding aggressiveness, double teams, hedges, pick and roll strategy etc etc, while you simply run the floor and work the ball?
5) Are you not totally OCD about stats that you will get slideritis? Will you enjoy the game as long as it plays smooth and true to life? Are you a hardcore Myleague/MyGM player that will let the universe take it's own course and not get bogged down in setting every little thing up for all 32 teams? (if you do that's ok but time spent playing is better use of time IMO) The only thing I do take control over is lopsided trades (what I deem just pure fleecing between the CPU teams) and mitigate injuries if for some reason they get out of hand to the point of "not realistic" territory.
6) These sliders are not tested nor designed for use with THE SHOT STICK. Period. If you use the shot stick I can't answer any questions regarding using these with the shot stick. If you want to try it...by all means. I don't use it nor will test with it.
7) These sliders are designed an tested using only the Broadcast Camera View
8) These sliders were tested exclusively on the PS5 Console
If you answered yes to all those questions.....this very well may be the slider set for you.
As always, please use it as a base....tweak to your skill level or desired outcomes in various area’s of the game.
I am not going to be active in terms of answering every question. I will post the slider set and then go have fun!!!!
I am using Clutch’s roster and here is his PSN and he has a thorough thread about his roster which is fantastic.
